Going negative - heading for the gutter

Despite all the predictions that the Liberal Party would be running negative campaign ads, it looks like the Conservatives are the first off the mark.

It's pretty slick by Connie standards, but it fits with their bitter, angry and personally negative campaign.

The gyst of the thing is this: "If you are a crook and a slimeball, how else can you campaign but by going negative?"

The noise you hear is the Connie strategy team coughing uncomfortably. Will their message boomerang?

There's an art to the negative and given that the Liberals haven't run a single negative telvision spot, this Connie one looks just a tad out of place.

Remember the word, boys: dezinformatsiya.

Not every "leak" is a real leak.
